Topic: Do the juice Worth the squeeze? (Read 912 times)

So, to answer your question directly, yes, the benefits can be worth it if you're gambling for enjoyment and you approach it as a form of entertainment rather than a guaranteed way to make money. It's all about balancing the fun with the risks and making sure it fits into your lifestyle without causing stress or financial strain.

Most people go to casinos to make money. It can in the form of "trying it out for the first time" to "winning back yesterdays loss" and thus the vicious cycle continues from newbie gamblers to addicted veteran gamblers. The reason why people dont want to earn money is that the rest of the methods are energy consuming and need physical or mental work, which they are not willing to use, only to learn their folly in the long run.

So dont treat gambling as an income, you will lose and you will win, only to lose that money too.

Definitely not all understand that, otherwise there would be no gamblers betting a lot of money hoping to be profitable. Maybe for most of us we have no chance of wining in gambling but how about those gamblers who call them professional that are raking money from a sportsbook or a casino? There are skilled based game, so we can't generalize that gambling is really for fun only, otherwise, there's no risk on it as we already accepted we spend money when we gamble.

And for anyone who is treating gambling as his major source of income will always be lacking behind because gambling takes money away from a gambler than it gives in money to the gamblers pocket, since we all understand that this is only means of having fun and being entertained, there have been so many who have wrongly interpreted what this gambling form of entertainment serves, instead they are taking it for something else.

Those people need to wake up, because even if can understand the appeal it may have to make a fortune while doing something that in essence is a game, at the same time I know this is nowhere near as easy as they expect it out to be, since if we were to read the experiences of those that actually tried that lifestyle and succeeded, you will soon realize that they treat gambling not as a source of entertainment but as just another job, with poker players playing for 14 hours or more each day, so even for the few that can make money this way, the amount of work they need to invest is massive.

If you are risk taker then this is worth the squeeze but if you know the importance of money then never that you will take that 50/50 ratio and most of the time even higher than 20/80 .
Iwill not recommend everyone to stay in gambling if they don't have enough money to lose because this is mostly to lose and small percent to win.
that is the benefits of being extreme lover, so they can enjoy anything even losing money as long as they are happy in what they are doing.

What you say is very true, the person who want easy money generally do not like to work, but rather do nothing, watch TV, watch phones, make tik toks, many things like that and they want to live a life of luxury and benefits things, these types of people can really take advantage of a lot when they don't have supplies in a casino, and the truth is that if they have that luck they are very lucky, but just think about the day that luck runs out, what the lives of those people will be like. Do you no longer have enough money to cover those expenses? How will the reaction be? If they really are people who basically have a lot of things to fix, those who like easy money, at some point in their life they will realize that they have to change their way of earning income, and I don't know any other way that work, and work hard, if you want to have more money, then you have to work more, otherwise I don't know where else you can obtain constant and good income.

the people who think they will get rich from gambling, those are the people who only rely on gambling as their source of income, they are the people who want easy money and don't work hard to have money, and finally, they are also the people fools quickly because they are quick to believe what other people say without fact checking and research.
And sad to say, many people have that mindset, they think that once they gamble they will get rich immediately because that's what they see in promotions and social media advertisements. It is much better that people are now more aware of the other causes and effects of gambling in a person's life, it is not just about winnings because there are more factors that need iconsider before we gamble.

I completely agree with that. People who think that they have a 50% chance of winning in gambling don't understand that it doesn't work that way in the long run, even if you have a 49% to 50% chance of winning a bet, it doesn't necessarily mean you will have the same chances when you keep gambling for a long time because the house edge will keep reducing that percentage and puts it in the favour of the house.

So, people who think they can get rich from gambling are just having the wrong mindset and they most probably don't have much knowledge about the technical side of gambling and how the odds are stacked against them for the long run. It's better for a gambler to stay moderate with it all the time.

It would be so difficult to break free from the cycle of ensnaring in a particular game or betting style. Most of people initially engage in gambling for entertainment or as a leisure activity, but greed and unrealistic expectations can quickly lead to detrimental consequences. It's unrealistic to view gambling as a reliable means of gaining benefits or income. People engaging in gambling need to set clear limits and boundaries to mitigate the risk of financial harm and addiction.

Investing in tangible assets like Bitcoin or other real assets can offer more stable and potentially profitable opportunities compared to the unpredictable nature of gambling. Focusing on more secure investment options and treating gambling solely as a recreational activity can safeguard their financial well-being and avoid the pitfalls associated with excessive gambling behavior.

Gambling is never a game for us to gain but most probably it’s all about losses knowing the house has always an edge over its players. Hence, gambling in order to gain future profits is never certain, except for those highly lucky players who get to double or triple their capital in the end. But it’s seldom to see players bringing home the beacons and hitting jackpot prizes. Most of the time, they end up losing and empty pocket.

This is a reason why gambling is not worth of our time and money if you are seeing it as an investment, but if you are seeing it as part of entertainment, then you will always be profitable in gambling not in terms of money but in terms of joy and fun you’ve got from playing interesting gambling games.

Gambling is highly addictive and once you start on a particular games or betting style, you will be put under some unfavorable conditions that you will need an extra efforts to get yourself out of that conditions, some time most of the gambling addicts starts the habits of gambling just as fun and when greed set in they forget that gambling is an uncertain activities, which results Can't be predicted and for that it unrealistic to take gambling as means of gaining any benefits.


One should not invest a penny into gambling and as a matter of fact, gamble with an amount you ready to throw away, and never take gambling seriously aside just fun, if you want to invest you can buy some real assets like Bitcoin instead of risking it on gambling.

Yeah, the moment gambling goes away from being activity we participate in in our leisure time for fun and excitement to becoming a do or die kind of thing, and gets to a stage where it begins to affect other tasks and activities in our real life, just as you already mentioned (work and relationships), then its definitely time to several steps back, access the situation, take a long break, allow our brains and body system to readjust back to its normal attitudes or behaviors again, then and only then, should we ever maybe consider gambling again, but this time, with a total consciousness of every action we take or decision we make as regards to gambling.

It's a pretty tiny line between enjoying doing something and getting addicted at it doing it, we can enjoy gambling, have all the fun, but without total consciousness of our decisions or actions, we might not even know when we slip into gambling addiction, for its one of those things that actually comes like a thieve in the night - unknowingly and unexpectedly.

So, for the time and money we spend on gambling to be worth it for us, it's of utmost important we do not allow ourselves get addicted to gambling, that is comes in-between us and other activities in our real lives.

The gambling is merely harmless fun idea only works in theory.  Do people follow that often? Once free time feels empty, gambling becomes your go-to when you're not occupied. Boredom shouldn't make you risk everything; it tests your self-control
Movies, games, and hanging out are all good pastimes. Gambling sneaks in, appearing calm. It's meant to hook you, especially when you're bored or seeking for an escape. Gamble from 'hobby' to severe problem when it affects job and relationships

Second, gambling becomes a priority, you stop losing. You're risking everything. Seriously, what's the benefit? A little excitement? Worth the repercussions? Time to step back and assess the situation

And, still, some people enjoy extreme sports (with or without crocodiles ) and I think that it has a lot to do with the reason why people is willing to enjoy going 50/50, in the best case, because the hedge always unbalances the probability and benefits the house.

Gambling is always very risky and i always think its win is 50/50. because i can't guarantee any result so i have to accept win and loss also. Gambling is like jumping into a crocodile-infested river.  If you are lucky you will be able to escape from there and if you are unlucky the crocodile will eat you and you will have nothing to do. So you have to jump here after thinking about it a few times.  Because once you get into the habit of jumping, you will want to go there again and again and you will not always be able to save yourself.

You shouldnt be betting or gambling if it not only takes money from you, but also creates problems for you at or with your work and other daily tasks.

And concerning time, you are supposed to be gambling at your leisure times, and just incase you don't know, leisure time simply means those times when you are completely free and have nothing else to do, you are refer to it as free time or resting time, at this time, we sometimes feel very bored and wish there was something to do to get us out of that boredom into happiness and excitements again, this is the time that gambling comes in mind for those who are interested in it, or already into it, this is also the time some people use for watching movies on their mobile phones or computer, or TV set, some use this time to play video games on their mobile, TV set or computer, some use this time to hang out with friends, and while like I said before, gamblers van also use this time to play their favorite games.
The essence or goal here is that, gambling should never take you out of what's important you are supposed to do, you are only supposed to gamble at only your free when it does not affect your work or other daily tasks, for when ever gambling starts coming between you and your work and other important daily tasks, check it, for it shows that you are already gambling too much, and this leads to gambling addiction.

When it comes casual gambling with little to no luck, I don't think that it's ever going to be worth it no matter how you look at it but if we look at gambling as for fun and not for profit, definitely worth the squeeze if you ask me and I think that between those two, that will decide whether you should continue gambling or not. Maybe skills do matter some time thus making it worth the squeeze but if you look at how much you've spent on a grand scale, you'd probably have a different opinion in regards to the worth of the time and money you've spent winning that amount of money in gambling.

Gambling must not be treated as money making machine and in this why many
gamblers fell wrongly and instead of enjoying they kept asking for winner.

Financial problem must be faced regarding of our capacity to gain money and not
because we are winning in gambling because that is more on relying living in luck.

I also see the casino and the game as that, because we are people who can have many ups and Downs in the casino and to be in the casino losing and Doing things to win whatever it takes, because in that desire to achieve things we will most likely have great Losses , those who have tried to see the game as a job or as an income, things do not turn out well for them because it is very difficult for things to work out in their favor, partially when I play I do it with my limited money , and it is only the best , because doing anything to earn sometimes things don't go well and you lose money.

Playing because it's fun, that's what you're looking for Because that's what it's for, I see that things in the casino are different, the casino has its own way of Winning , the best thing is that you don't lose so much money because you don't have to make something pretty out of it Either a Nightmare.
